The Department of Anesthesiology at Montefiore Einstein is dedicated to advancing the fields of medicine and surgery. As a partner across the health system, particularly in perioperative and periprocedural care, we are in a unique position to align efforts and make the system more effective.
We are a hub for integrated care. We collaborate with surgery and medicine to ensure equitable care is provided consistently and effectively. We ensure good data-based decisions are made every day in the OR, the ICU, the Pain clinic, and the procedural suites of medicine. We help patients get the treatment that best serves their needs.
Through research and innovation, Montefiore Einstein Anesthesiology creates and implements new science of perioperative medicine. Through mentorship, intensive research training and education, we are developing future leaders in research. We support our researchers at every stage of their process, from idea generation through study completion and publication.
Consistent with this goal, our Anesthesiology faculty and trainees are actively involved in the execution and leadership of a wide array of ongoing clinical research quality improvement projects.

Investigación
At the Department of Anesthesiology, research is at the heart of developing the future of state-of-the-art, high-quality perioperative anesthesiology, pain management, and critical care of our patients.
Through advanced clinical and lab-based research, our teams across Montefiore Einstein and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine use findings and knowledge to inform decisions in clinical operations, education, and quality improvement.
Our national and international collaborations further enable us to contribute to the progress in perioperative medicine globally – through multicentric studies generalizable to patients who present in hospitals anywhere in the world for a surgical procedure or with a critical illness that requires immediate treatment.
Our clinical research is the direct consequence of the discussions of our colleagues in the operating room and in the intensive care unit. Primary strategies of this research include the generation and analysis of highly granular pharmaco-physiological patient data to understand the effects of new medications on the recovery from surgery or critical illness. We then regroup, validate, and utilize available healthcare record data from more than 1 million patients who have had surgery at Montefiore Einstein or in one of our collaborating healthcare networks. This powerful information helps us identify rare complications – and is the foundation for individualized perioperative treatment. We then confirm results in our prospective clinical studies to verify and improve effectiveness and implementation of treatment strategies identified as promising in retrospective studies.
